1) Can somebody suggest a good available textbook for not
very sophisticated students? Include the ISBN, if possible.
2) Also a textbook which can help me to develop the course.
The content of the course would be very much up to me.
In my opinion elements of history of science for science majors
should be presented in the context of science courses, such as
mechanics, thermodynamics, e&m, genetics, organic chemistry,
or astronomy.
A course for non-science majors should not ignore their limitations.
It should be a cultural "science appreciation"
course with a mixture of real science and real history.
Serious History of Science topics can not be developed with very limited
preparations.
